Connecticut retained its colonial charter as its state constitution. Adopted in 1638-1639, this charter remained in effect until 1818, making it one of the oldest functioning written constitutions in the world. The charter established a degree of self-governance and served as the foundation for Connecticut's governance until it was replaced by a more modern constitution.

If the union of the Church and the State was retained in the present Constitution, I believe that the condition of the Philippines today would be like what it was during the Spanish Colonial period. Very few Filipinos have a sense of history that is why we keep on repeating it. Some people would argue that the Filipinos have learned their lesson and would move on from then on, but they are mistaken. Today, we are in a time were the Constitution prohibits the union of the Church and the State and we could still observe that the Church is a potent force in Philippine politics. How much more if such union exists? We would be living in a country manned by the clergy.
